breed and gender

Hello there chicken experts! I have three 5 week old chickens I’m unsure about and would love to hear your thoughts… Chickens #2 and #3 are supposed to be Cuckoo Marans (pullets)… or so they were labeled. I’m beginning to think they’re actually Dominiques. Their combs and leg color aren’t...

Hey yall! We ordered a batch of 20 sexed chicks from Hoover Hatchery's rare breed assortment a few weeks ago as a fun little winter project since we had some extra brooder space, and there are 3 that we can't seem to ID for the life of us, as they don't appear to match any of the possible...

Hey there! This gal/guy showed up on our front porch one morning and has been our stray defacto chicken 3+ mos ago. We barely see it, hides in our bushes in the day and flies high up high up in our tree at dusk to sleep. Any ideas on the breed, age, and sex of this rascal? These were the...

These are 10 week old chickens we’ve had since 1 day old. We were told they were barred Plymouth Rock but with a buff gene… born yellow but probably would turn out black/white barred. They are nice chickens but don’t seem to be turning out as initially thought. The breeder also had australorps...

Hi! This chick was literally dumped at my area shelter. Unfortunately, that means we know actually nothing about it including age, breed, or if it received proper nutrition for the first few weeks of its life that could have affected feather growth. My suspicion due to the feather pattern...

He showed up tagging along with my chickens the other day and won't leave... Lol he's not the slightest aggressive, just kinda hangs around and doesn't bother. My other roo's are unbothered by him. Rhode Island?

I tried taking photos of comb and feathers. This one is more red than the other Easter Egger. The first three photos are the one in question. The 4th photo is of the other Easter Egger we brought home the same time. ALSO, the 5th picture - what type is she. tufts and beard but legs more greenish...

My mom picked up these little fluff-butts about a week ago, and she thought she was getting Golden Comets (obviously they were mislabeled at TSC). I’m leaning towards Cinnamon Queens because I have a couple but these chicks have fluffier cheeks/lighter coloring than mine did. We also aren’t sure...

What is the the Breeds of these chicks?

Another mystery chick from cackle. Any idea? Thanks for the help!

Sheltering a stray. Very friendly. Looking for breed confirmation. Thanks all!

We bought these 2 chicks at TSC on March 30. The sign said straight run Wyandotte. The first picture is day we brought them home (2 dark ones on the left are in question). The other pictures are today. Just curious about opinions on breed and sex, especially because of the difference in combs...

Hello Yolks, a coworker bestowed upon me 7, 1 week old chicks that he raised from a random assortment of eggs, which as of the 7-8 week old mark, I'm starting to get worried about the amount of cockerels I may have, and also curious the breed of each. Any and all help would would be appreciated...

I get most of our chickens from a breeder but I seen overcrowding at tractor supply and couldn’t pass a few up lol. Any guesses on what these breeds are. There’s two pictures of each chicken. 7 chickens in total.

Hi! I ordered the suprise box of chicks from alchemist farm in California. Didn’t get to choose any of the breeds in the box. Was suppose to get 10 and pleasantly surprised with 15 beautiful babies. Would appreciate any help with breed identification and sex. The potential breeds are German...

Hi all! My husband and I are purchasing a house that is vacant. The owner left behind whatever chickens they couldn’t catch. Today we were both lucky and unlucky to find this pretty girl tangled in fishing line and stuck in a bush! She’s quarantined from the rest of our flock right now, but we’d...

I ordered some Polish birds from a hatchery and got a couple extra surprises in the box. Any idea what these guys are? Is the last one of them just a polish boy?

Can anyone help identify what type of chicken this is? We found it waking along a main road and have taken it in. It also has a large lump on one of its wings that it keeps pecking and making it bleed, we are trying to keep it clean but not sure what it is. Not sure what to do!
